The weather forecast predicted rain and hail. So, I thought of trying to capture something different.
I went to the castle gardens as it's just on the other side of the lane. I aimed at this flower. It still had some crystals on it.
It was a gloomy day. So, I was not expecting much.
Then, suddenly, there was bright light ( I could manage only one click) that gave the tulip flower an extra gloss with the natural hail toppings.
